Welcome back Payamps

He delivered a little slice of humble Payamps tonight.

[RobertCrawley]

Collins overmatched by the heater.

[bensheeps]

Perkins and Collins don't scream RH power off the bench moving forward.

Thoughts...will the Brewers be more apt to hit one of the catchers in the postseason in those spots?

[HarryDoyle]

The Brewers will clinch the division before they even take the field tomorrow.

We are hitting a grand slam in the ninth

They should be and it makes no sense not to.

And what good will that do?

[yourout]

If we can get past the wild card round I think I'd rather face the dodgers next and hope somebody jumps up and bites the Phillies. 

[adambr2]

Kind of bittersweet of a clinch coming up as our last gasp chance of catching the Phillies pretty much dies with this loss. 

Not only do we drop back to 4 GB but they clinch the tiebreaker. 

Was always going to be tough to get the sweep. 

[RobertCrawley]

The Phils are a good team. They had us today. Let's see about tomorrow.

[BruisedCrew]

Happ’s second HR of the night pulls the Cubs to within a run. Now 2 outs. 

[BCF]

Cubs lose. Magic # 1

[BruisedCrew]

A lot of Brewers looked overmatched tonight. 

So nice to have one of those horses that you can count on for 7 solid innings more often than not. 

[ToolShed55]

Cubs lose!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Just couldn't get to Wheeler tonight. Dodgers are really struggling and still have a series with the Padres coming up. They go 2 Marlins, 3 Rockies, 3 Padres, 3 Rockies. Brewers pretty much have to hope they go 6-5 and then we close our tougher schedule 9-2. I don't see it, but that's why they play the games, I guess.

In better news, Cubs lose! Let's clinch tomorrow!

[willie key]

Let’s get it done tomorrow 

[LouisEly]

Ashby threw 20 strikes on 23 pitches.

Who had that three months ago?

[LouisEly]

Much fewer PA's, but Mitchell has a higher OPS than Chourio on the season.

NOT saying he's better, just saying that I think Mitchell has been doing better than some give him credit for.

Can Mitchell play 1B?

[BCF]

Wheeler has a 2.5 ERA on the year now. He’s been great

I sing barbershop with a big Sweet Adelines chorus in FL.  We are preparing for International contest in Kansas City next month.

I see we lost tonight.  I hope we can at least rebound and take the series tomorrow.  🤞

9-2 would be fantastic, but, yeah, I don't see it either.

He never has……it would be a waste of an excellent outfielder.

Need to find a good left handed first base option for next season……assuming Hoskins opts in.

Need one this season.  Can't go out and get one right now.

It was said half tongue-in-cheek, but Perkins, Frelick, and Chourio would have OF covered with excellent outfielders.
